EINVAL: invalid argument: Not able to use obsidian Sync anymore

Basically that’s a duplicate of this issue.

Invalid character in file names causes sync to break due to FILE_NOTCREATED error loop and invalid characters allowed in Desktop file names

Steps to reproduce Create a vauit with sync enabled. Create a few files. Introduction to NoSQL Understanding Cassandra C* Garbage collection. The ‘C* Garbage collection’ file will not be able to sync and will instead get stuck in a blocking infinite loop of ‘FILE_NOTCREATED’ errors. This loop blocks other files from being sync’d to the remote vault. This only affects syncing from Desktop to Mobile, as Mobile app will not allow you to name files with a special character like ‘'. I’m filing…

It is a bug, i am right now stuck inside an infinite loop of EINVAL: invalid argument.

And i cant delete the file with illegal characters since i don’t anymore have access to PC on which i created this vault.

Basically this bug is solvable if i install another Windows OS, and sync it there, and delete file from there.

But do i really have to install a whole separate OS just to fix it?

Actually, that doesn’t solve the issue, i checked it. On new Windows installation it safely ignores the file with special symbol, i can’t delete it or rename

I literally have no way to use Obsidian Sync from Android or Linux now

I solved it by using AppImage version of Obsidian.

Turns out, this issue remains only in Flatpak version
